The breast has lots of benign things. Unlike the prostate, the where benign is called ''benign'', everything has a name. It is more common among breast pathologists to sign-out things like: ''apocrine metaplasia'' (benign), ''columnar cell change'' (benign), and ''epithelial hyperplasia of the usual type (EHUT)'' - instead of - ''benign breast tissue''. | The breast has lots of benign things.
